8 Random Facts About This Blogger

by Gloria Gamat on August 28th, 2007

First of all, my apologies to Alicia of Mental Health Notes for my (very) late reply to this meme.

Here are the 8 random facts about me (with a focus on health):

  1. There were only two occasions (in my whole life) that I have been confined in a hospital: when I had a severe case of tonsilo-pharyngitis and when I delivered my baby.
  2. In my family’s history (from my ancestors to the present), the women lived a lot longer than the men. My great grandma died at 92 - she wasn’t sick or anything, she just died in her sleep. She didn’t get dementia or Alzheimer’s either, even to her last days, her mind and memory was as sharp as always.
  3. I am an on and off smoker. However, I only average  3 sticks/day. As if that is an excuse? That still make me a smoker right? Enough said. ;-)
  4. I am a coffee addict but I haven’t been to any Starbucks yet. I swear! I love my coffee black and hot.
  5. I didn’t start eating vegetables until I was in my late teens and already in college.
  6. I’ve been a research lab Chemist for ten years, after which I turned into full time science and health blogging.
  7. My family do not have a history of cancer or diabetes. But we have a history of renal failure and cardiovascular death.
  8. I am single mother and I had a C-section in 2002. That oxytocin they use to induce labor? That didn’t work on me. :-(
